No "Can't Be Done" Spirit Here
Defeatism is not in the program of community
life here in Morrow county. When there is a task
to perform, although there may be delay in getting
started, at times, it is performed with a finality
that leaves no room for doubt This was plainly
evident in the parade and auction sale held Sat
urday afternoon to give bond sales a boost in
starting off the Third War Loan campaign. Coop
eration of horsemen and horsewomen, the Ameri
can Legion and the United States army brought
to our little city a parade that would have been a
credit to a much larger place and, of course, the
sale which followed is without precedent here or
elsewhere.
This newspaper would be neglecting a civic duty
if it failed to give credit, to those backing and as
sisting the parade and auction. The sale was pro
posed by V. R. "Bob" Runnion, professional sale
cryer who stood to make nothing more than a
good name for himself. To state that Runnion did
a good job is to put it mildly. In reality he did a
masterful job, working just as hard as he would
had he been getting a good commission on every
sale made. He hung up a record for others of his
profession to shoot at. In arranging and staging
the parade, Harlan McCurdy, chairman,- B. C.
Pinckney and P. W. Mahoney and all those as
sisting, deserve the thanks of the community. The
cooperation of the army in sending so much ma
teriel was commendable. There were pieces of
equipment that many of us had not seen before
and now we know why "Uncle" has to have so
much "oil" to keep the war machines in motion.
The auction sale, which may run in the neigh
borhood of $150,000, was but the beginning of the
campaign. Bond purchases made in the bidding
represented a small- percentage of the county's
potential bond investors. The big job confronting
the bond chairmen and their field workers is to
draw out that remaining $217,800 to reach the
county's quota. In spite of the state committee's
statement relative to corporation purchases, the
bulk of this loan will have to be subscribed by in
dividuals. Corporations are too few to expect much
support from that direction. It is up to John Cit
zen, and there is every reason to believe that he
will come through handsomely this time as in pre
vious campaigns.

Time for Knockout Punch
There are signs that the Allies are rounding up
their resources for the knockout blow. It will not
come suddenly as in the case of the prize fight,
but there is a similarity in the program. Great
forces must be collected in the region where the
final blow will be struck, forces of men, ships,
tanks, guns, planes, food all the equipment and
materiel needed in promoting warfare. All these
materials cost vast sums of money. Most recent
figures quoted place the sum Uncle Sam is spend
ing for his war machine at $240,000,000 a day.
That is an average of at least two dollars per day
per person in these United States. We can't let
"Uncle" down now, "Uncle" and his nephews and
nieces who are carrying the battle to the ene
my on all fronts. We are in a critical stage of the
war. A slackening of bond purchases now might
not spell defeat but it will slow down the Allied
campaign, and that is not what we want. We want
to end the war as quickly as possible. It can be
done if we buy our quota and a little bit more for
good measure.
Don't slow down on the home front and expect
our boys to keep up their speed on the battle front.

'rom where I sit
ly Joe Marsh
"Jeep Nerves" -that's what Dan
O'Neill calls the jumpy way
some folks react to the strain of
wartime living.
Not that Dan blames 'em.
When you work 12 hours a day
and travel in crowded busses
live in trailers and put up with
inconveniences - it's only na
tural to get tense and irritable.
"Folks must learn to relax,"
says Dan, "and take It easy."
And Dan thinks he has the
formula. Soon as he's through
at the, shop he comes straight
home, picks out the comfort
ablest chair an: x-rs himself a
tall, cool glass n oeer.
Then ne sids .t slowly and
appreciatively like good beer
should De enjoyed.
And by the time that glass of
beer is gone, Dan says his dispo
sition is as good as new . . . and
the day's work seems well worth
tackling again tomorrow.
It's a real effective formula, f
know; I've tried it!
